• Local tradition records that Shannon View occupies part of the former De Lacy Norman castle site guarding the Shannon ford after which Ballyleague takes its name. The present house, built for the Shannon Bridge engineer c. 1864, remained in the same extended family ownership for many decades and has rarely been offered for sale.

REA Seamus Carthy proudly presents a Landmark Shannon-side Residence with Historic Courtyard and Two Acres Overlooking the Marina. Shannon View is a distinguished nineteenth-century riverside residence occupying an exceptional elevated position on the banks of the River Shannon, directly overlooking the marina and Blueway in the villages of Ballyleague and Lanesborough. Built originally for the engineer of the Shannon Bridge and incorporating earlier stone outbuildings believed to form part of the De Lacy Norman castle that once guarded the river ford, the property combines rare heritage with extraordionary views and development potential. Set within about two acres of mature private grounds, Shannon View includes a traditional two-storey period home together with an extensive range of cut-stone outbuildings under natural-slate roofs arranged around a sheltered courtyard. The lands enjoy dual road frontage and three vehicular access points within the Ballyleague settlement boundary, all zoned residential. This is a once-in-a generation opportunity for discerning buyers seeking, a character family home with direct Shannon views, a boutique accomodation or tourism project in a thriving Blueway location, or a strategic riverside redevelopment site in an established village environment. Contact REA Seamus Carthy to arrange your private viewing. Viewing strictly by appointment.
